Disable CRASH reporting ---- HOW ???

Postby lewtwo » 16 Oct 2014 20:26

I use VLC for unattended backend recording.
Today one of the recording sessions crashed.
This blocked ALL the rest of the recording sessions for the day because VLC wanted permission to send a crash report.

Question: How do I PERMANENTLY disable this crash reporting feature ??

I will answer my own question in case someone is searching for the same topic.

use the CLI (command line interface) --no-crashdump

Well this does not really address the issue question but it does circumvent the problem. As far as I can find there is NO way to to disable the crashdump reporting. Using the CLI option works for the launched session only. In my case I am using Microsoft's task scheduler (schtasks.exe) which has a limit of 255 characters for the task command. Adding this option went over the top of said limit. Thus I then had to circumvent that problem. That can be done by using a batch file (i.e. task123.cmd). In my case I wrote a small program that launches VLC and resolves another issue that I had.
